There's a 0% chance of a successful colony, by any definition of successful, on Mars in the next century. If we, as a species, cannot avoid destroying the climate that birthed us over millions of years we have exactly 0% chance of surviving one that is completely inhospitable to life.

He doesn't make a good point. I'd rather have people of high moral character responsible for enforcing the law.

This speech by Colonel Jessep is meant to be revealing of his true thoughts and character. Jessep rationalizes the evil and immoral acts he commits or orders because he's "protecting" the rest of society. He lied to cover up his own malfeasance. A soldier died under his command, murdered, as a direct consequence of illegal orders he gave.

How do you completely twist the plot of this movie to arrive at the conclusion that Colonel Jessep's worldview is one to be admired instead of reviled?

So... what happens when the person who originally deployed everything eventually leaves or gets hit by a bus? Hey, it's six months later and you need to redeploy everything again.

You need some automation or a really good how-to document, and hopefully both. It won't save you all the pain of learning how the deployment works but it will save you a lot of time and effort.

Anyone done TOTP port-knocking to open an SSH listen port with just the originator white-listed for a short window?

This seems strange, aren't the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines built using the exact same mRNA sequence?

Even if your bodies are pretty similar, you still don't know if your vitamin D levels will follow the pattern that his did. If you're messing with vitamin D supplements you should talk to a doctor and/or get your blood tested.

Saying you missed out on Bitcoin is like saying you missed out on a giant ponzi scheme.

This hasn't even been peer reviewed yet. Don't expect that you, the average HN reader, knows better than reviewers with relevant backgrounds.

No, because it's absurdly stupid.
